Sea of Red

Drury's fans took over Philips Arena, making up a vocal majority of the 7,763 in attendance. Five buses of students made an overnight trip from Springfield, arriving in Atlanta Sunday morning.

After celebrating on the court, Drury's players waded into the the crowd to celebrate.

Lockhart recovers

It was a miserable first half for Drury senior point guard Brandon Lockhart. He had as many turnovers (five) as points in the first 20 minutes, and rolled his ankle while attempting a desperation shot at the buzzer.

But Lockhart came alive after halftime, scoring nine points and dishing out seven assists to help power Drury's comeback. He also guarded Metro State's Brandon Jefferson on the game's final play, keeping the elusive guard from getting his hands on the ball for a final shot. Jefferson led Metro State with 19 points.

Numbers never lie?

Metro State out-rebounded Drury 33-27, leading to a 13-7 advantage in second-chance points. The Roadrunners forced 19 Panthers turnovers, and outscored DU 29-14 in points off turnovers.

Metro outscored Drury 13-4 in fast break points and 34-28 in the paint, hit three more field goals on 15 more shot attempts and shot 75 percent from the free throw line.

But Drury overcame the math by hitting 11 3-pointers - Metro State made six - and getting 12 points from its bench. Metro State's starters scored all the Roadrunners' points and played 185 of a possible 200 total minutes. Cameron Adams had seven points off the bench for DU. Lonnie Boga had the other five.
